Thanks for the response LASflyer. I thought about doing a status match challenge but from what I've read here, they generally require more than 10 nights. Since I only travel once a year (this trip) I wouldn't be able to do more than 10 nights. Silver is pretty low but the bonus points offered by it will give me enough for two free nights next year (combined with other points I've got) and get me half way to a third free night - I can live with that if they won't bump me to gold.
